    Hiking

    Tip at this place: pay attention to "violent noises", described by an old, Low German report as "violent whizzing like a whirlwind and strong hail weather underground" 😳😨 😉 ...

    "Earthquakes are the results of millions of years of geological construction and reconstruction. The Icker Loch was created on April 22, 1782 in the middle of the country road from Osnabrück to Hunteburg. After" violent noises ", a 15 m diameter hole formed immediately below groundwater After two months it had a diameter of 34 m and was already 40 m deep. "

    It was April 22, 1782. The earth sank at this point and a hole appeared in the ground that filled with water. For several days, earth continued to break off from the bank and fall into the pond.
